Essentially, there is nothing that can prove you are a citizen. It has to be decided on a case by case basis, for a limited period at a time, by the 'proper authorities' using their intuition and gut-feeling. Since no one can at any point of time be sure if they are a citizen or not, they need to, at all times, be propitiating the 'authorities concerned', so that whenever required, they may be granted a few drops of citizenship. Radical reinvention of the Constitution that we can all applaud. The next step towards progress could be to determine four hereditary hierarchies of citizenship.
Here you go. The forcible vegetarianism by Hindutva. The only thing Hindutva in political power can do is target your food, dress, religion, etc, and pamper corporate houses while people reel from poverty, unemployment, climate change and what not.
The ministry of external affairs says that a passport is a document travel not the proof of citizen ship . Really ??? . So are they providing this travel document to some people with out being totally convinced that this person is an Indian citizen ?? . It is absurd .
The rains in india were catastrophically delayed this year, so much of the Indian population lives under water scarcity. People have literally gone to court over their right to water (in informal settlements in borivali, mumbai) & now the rain-related deaths have already begun. but the culprit is not the rain.
It is a state that refuses to invest in urban planning, drainage & sewage systems are a failure. Flood preparedness, and disaster management is a foreign concept to the modi regime.
Every year, these deaths are reported as natural disasters. But they are political.
they die. thousands of them. and more are dying every year. growing heat risk is increasing excess deaths. this is what the climate scientists were warning about for twenty years. we had two whole decades to intervene. instead Americans especially doubled down.
in times of genocide and occupation, in times of the indian state’s complicity in the genocide in gaza - we must remember that the suspension of accounts and the erasure of voices started with palestinians first.
unfortunately, so much can be traced back to palestine. they call it the testing ground, which i find to be very reductive and dehumanising to the palestinian people, but yes, it started there first.
IRANIAN PRESIDENT: “If we did not have our defensive missiles, Israel and America would have plowed through Iran the way Gaza was plowed through, showing no mercy to the old or the young. They speak of human rights. It is a great lie.”
It’s a hard truth to hear, but it’s true.
“Agora tenho um joelho ruim. Não tenho mais cartilagem nele, graças a tantos anos dançando de salto alto, correndo no asfalto e praticando yoga ashtanga.” Madonna contou isso na Interview Magazine 😭 o joelho dela foi maior que carreiras, estou de luto.
